Apple teases with iPhone ads, wacky Google Street View sightings, buying an empty electronics box, RealPlayer gets into Web video downloads, and shirts that make a (text message) statement.
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M RICH DEMURO WITH CNET TV AND YOU ARE NOW IN THE QUEUE...
AMP'D MOBILE HAS FILED CHAPTER 11 FOR RAPID GROWTH...THAT NEWS CONFUSING HUGH HEFNER CAUSE IN HIS BUSINESS - THAT'S A GOOD THING.
TIME FOR YOUR MUST SEE MOMENT!
FRESH IPHONE ADS READY FOR YOUR VIEWING ENJOYMENT...
IN CASE YOU TIVOED RIGHT THROUGH THEM...APPLE HAS POSTED THREE 30 SECOND SPOTS ON IT'S WEBSITE...
ONE SHOWS HOW EASY IT IS TO LOOK UP A RESTAURANT ON GOOGLE MAPS...
OTHERS SHOW OFF THE SLICK FUNCTIONALITY...
IPHONE LAUNCHES JUNE 29TH...COMPLETE WITH A 2 YEAR CONTRACT.
LAST WEEK GOOGLE GAVE US STREET VIEWS ON THEIR MAPS...
AND IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR SAVVY WEB SURFERS TO FIND THE BEST CANDID SHOTS...
THERE ARE NOW WEBSITES LISTING LINKS TO THE INTERESTING SIGHTINGS...
INCLUDING A GUY WITH AN IMPROMPTU PORTA-POTTY...
A DOGFIGHT IN THE PARK...
SUNBATHERS...
A WOMAN WHO'S WONDERING WHY A WEIRD CAMERA EQIUPPED CAR IS TAKING PICTURES OF HER...
LOW RIDERS...
SPEEDING CARS...
AND ACCIDENTS BEING NARROWLY AVOIDED.
AND YOU THOUGHT GOOGLE HAVING YOUR SEARCH HISTORY WAS SCARY!
HOW EXCITING IS IT WHEN YOU DECIDE TO BUY THAT BRAND NEW ELECTRONICS ITEM AND YOU CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME TO TEAR IT OPEN?
AND THEN YOU FIND OUT IT'S AN EMPTY BOX...
TRUE STORY, ACCORDING TO TERRY HEATON...
HE SAYS HE VISITED A COMPUSA LIQUIDATION SALE AND BOUGHT 35 HUNDRED BUCKS WORTH OF STUFF...
INCLUDING A 269 DOLLAR DIGITAL CAMERA...BOX!
HE DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL HE GOT HOME...AND THE COMP SAYS IT'S HIS PROBLEM...SINCE ALL SALES WERE FINAL.
BUYER BEWARE...MAKE SURE THE PRODUCT IS IN THE BOX BEFORE YOU BUY IT - ESPECIALLY IF IT'S AN OPEN ITEM.
REMEMBER REALPLAYER - THE COMPANY THAT PIONEERED WEB AUDIO?
THEIR LATEST PLAYER WILL HAVE A FEATURE THAT LETS YOU DOWNLOAD WEB VIDEO FROM POPULAR SITES.
IT'S AN ANNOYING ISSUE..YOU'RE LIKE WHAT YOU SEE...BUT THERE'S NO WAY TO SAVE THE VIDEO...
THE NEW REAL PLAYER WILL ADD A RIGHT-CLICK DOWNLOAD FUNCTION TO YOUR BROWSER...SO YOU CAN SAVE VIDEO IN VARIOUS FORMATS..INCLUDING REAL, WINDOWS MEDIA, FLASH AND QUICKTIME.
ONCE YOU HAVE THE VIDEO YOU CAN WATCH OFFLINE OR BURN TO CD OR DVD.
IT WON'T DOWNLOAD PROTECTED VIDEO...LIKE TV SHOWS CLIPS ON A NETWORK SITE.
THE NEW REALPLAYER LAUNCHES AT THE END OF JUNE - IT'S FREE.
FINALLY - THE SITE.
HAVING A WEB ADDRESS ON A T-SHIRT IS LIKE SO LAST YEAR...
NOW - IT'S TIME FOR A TEXT MESSAGING CALL TO ACTION...
AND REACTEE WILL HELP YOU GET IT.
THE SITE LETS YOU MAKE A CUSTOM SHIRT WITH A MESSAGE AND A TEXT KEYWORD.
WHEN SOMEONE SEES YOUR SHIRT, THEY CAN TEXT MESSAGE YOUR KEYWORD TO 41-411 AND THEN GET A RESPONSE THAT YOU PRE-PROGRAM.
YOU CAN CHANGE THE AUTO-RESPONSE AT ANY TIME...AND SUBSCRIBERS TO YOUR ALERTS GET AN UPDATE WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE SENDING ONE OUT.
OTHERS CAN SPREAD THE WORD BY BUYING YOUR SHIRT.
THE SHIRTS ARE AMERICAN APPAREL, THE NATURAL COLORS ARE ORGANIC, YES THE INK IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY...AND NO THERE ARE NO ELECTRONICS IN THE T'S.
NOW CONSIDER YOURSELF ALL QUEUED UP!
I'M RICH DEMURO WITH CNET TV IN NEW YORK CITY - DON'T SAY I DIDN'T TELL YOU SO.

Considering you can buy the from Apple too I would say you wouldn't need phone service. I am not too sure though. There is some special activation required for the iPhone.
